Following the initial reveal, there's plenty of information surrounding the Black Ops 6 campaign out in the open.

Single-player stories often get overlooked in favor of multiplayer offerings and following the rushed Modern Warfare 3 campaign, many are expecting Treyarch to deliver another blockbuster campaign packed with jaw-dropping cinematics and unexpected twists from out of nowhere. With COD Next 2024 expected to uncover more about the plot, there's already plenty of information on what the storyline entails.

Without further ado, find everything about the Black Ops 6 campaign in this guide.

Black Ops 6 campaign setting

The Black Ops 6 campaign is set in the 1990s during the Gulf War. The Truth Lies teaser trailers feature former US President Bill Clinton, ex-UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and Saddam Hussein.

Black Ops 6 campaign story

The Black Ops 6 campaign takes place in 1991, shortly after the Cold War and directly links to the flashbacks from the 1980s which Black Ops 2 fans are bound to remember.

The campaign showcases the collapse of the Soviet Union following the fall of the Berlin War leaving the United States as the sole superpower on the world stage.

When an operation goes wrong, Woods and Marshall are suspended from the CIA, forcing them to go rogue and trust each other to find out what's going on. Rather than relying on familiar faces, the pairing create a team of fresh faces to fight enemies that were once considered allies.

Is the Black Ops 6 campaign open-world?

If leaks are to be believed, Black Ops 6 will feature an open-world campaign. Instead of utilizing Open Combat Missions from Modern Warfare 3, Treyarch is opting for an approach similar to the Far Cry series. Players can use a fast-travel option to move from one mission to the next or drive around it using a range of vehicles.
